Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The fuck is crying about biden failing to enforce immigration policy and secure the border but yet at the same time the republican party refused to agree on finding a solution with Dems. This crippled fuck is trying to gaslight us.
Was the shot at Abbott's disability really necessary? He's an awful enough person that surely you can find something else to slam besides that
Why do you care? He's a piece of shit.
This expresses what I meant better than I could have said. Thanks
No worries; I saw it once and it stuck with me. For an ms paint drawing it's pretty powerful. I do have one small issue with it, which is that it doesn't explicitly state that it is not a bad thing to have that trait. Calling someone disabled as an insult implies that being disabled is bad, which I fundamentally disagree with. It's not because I 'don't want to upset anyone' -- it's because I completely disagree with the implication, and I think the implication is directly damaging to us as a society.
I'd much rather insult someone because they're a neo-fascist who deserves to find Lego on their bathroom floor with their foot at 1am when they only went for a piss and now the pain and adrenaline has jolted them awake and they won't sleep until at least 4am... for the rest of their life.
By that logic I, a fat man, can never call Chris Christie a lardass?
